Pseok looked at Olivia. "one of your cats thinks she can find him. She's unconcious right now, she pushed herself too hard just now, me and Dave were attacked by that Fisher guy and she helped us out. Anyway, when she wakes up she could be a lot of help."
He glanced at Olivia, "And Art seems to think that would be a better idea. How do you know where Charger is Human?"

"I don't think it'll work." Elfair commented blandly, "And no, I don't have a better idea." She moved to the grate into the office and prized the cover away as quietly as she could. Then, after a pause, she did up the jacket she wore, tucked as much of her hair as she could into the collar and put on the shades. "Don't forget the alarm that was going off until only a few minutes ago. These people will have heard it. And why do you think its stopped?" She lowered herself almost silently into the office.
She glanced around the room. Apart from a couple of empty polythene coffee cups and some papers strewn about there was really nothing to catch her attention. She tried a couple of drawers curiously but found them locked. There was nothing else in the room but a water cooler in the corner. She crept over to it and examined it. It wasn't anything she was familiar with but it gave her an idea. She pushed the papers onto the flooor and returned to the cooler. After a few seconds of experimenting she worked out how to unscrew the water tub thing on top and in a few seconds she'd got it loose and she shoved it from its place. It hit the floor loudly and rolled a few feet, spilling water across the carpet and the papers she'd knocked to the floor.
She dived under the desk and glanced at the vent. "Your turn Tiger-man."
The guards outside looked up at the noise immediately and after a few seconds only the one who'd been more attentive before came towards the office door. Elfair didn't see this however and crouched, tense and ready to spring if trouble came her way.
